Piripiri Koumei is the Hidden gem this season. Or it was.

Despite the popularity of the Opening Theme. Ya boy Kongming! Just burst out of nowhere this Spring Season because of one thing and left people in shock of how catchy it is.

Now that I'm done with that one thing of why this show is overrated. Let's move on with the real deal. Piripi Koumei started during the Great war in China around the year 200 AD. When the great tactician Zhung Liang a.k.a. Kongming fell ill during his service, he was hoping his next life doesn't revolve around war and wished to be reborn in a peaceful time.

Fair Warning for Isekai lovers. Mr. Kongming did not travel into another world. But he was brought back to the same world in a different timeline. Sorry, Isekai-ers.

Jumping into the modern time. Kongming woke up in the alley street of Shibuya and saw skulls walking around him and thinking he was sent into hell's paradise. While he was being punished (by drinking tequila), he was guided inside of a Domain..whoops wrong anime. I meant Club... oh silly me.
When he was trapped inside, he expected to be punished more by the devil. But when the heroine came out singing, Kongming’s whole experience inside the hell has cleansed his thoughts, and began to theorize if he was actually in hell or not. As he started listening more and more, he came to realize that he is not in the devil's playground.

Eiko, our songstress of the show. Was declined by many producers as she is not worthy enough to be part of a musician in her singing career. As she got declined many times, she started getting a small gig instead inside the bar, but not so many people cheered on her until Kongming gratified her performance.

So when a failed singer teams up with a 200 IQ strategist, they can begin their story as a duo and build her recognition towards the people who like music. On and on, Kongming insisted that he will help Eiko reach the top to fulfill her dream. First, they must start small. Second, get sponsored. Lastly, perform in the busiest place in Japan. Eiko has reached the top performance of all in Tokyo, with the big help of her co-worker/tactician/manager/ and a friend.

• Story is good. It reaches the part where all characters are likable and had a good time to build up the characters.
• Art is really nice. It captures the scenery of Tokyo and manages not to use CGI when it's crowded.
• Sound captures most of its spotlight. It held many performances for just 12 episodes, yes, it was repetitive. I will assure you that there are seven original soundtracks excluding the Opening, Ending themes, and the rap songs.
• Enjoyment is top-notch. I highly appreciate my time watching this show, and there were some small details that I love about it too.
